In No Particular Order

So much goes on during quilt week it is easy to want to get straight to the quilts! So that is what I'll do.
If you've been reading my blog for any length of time you know I love antique quilts, love the quirkiness and the humble way our ancestors made do. So, since that is my favorite, I'll start there!

What's not to love about circular blocks? I wish I had a photo of the whole quilt.

There was a Saturday market going on during the show and I saw this lovely block there. Love the color and the pattern.

Loved the bow borders. The next few have great borders as well!!

This is simple, but very effective. (narrow too!)

I'm not sure I've seen a pieced border like this on a log cabin quilt.

This gorgeous fabric was the backing of the log cabin. Isn't is beautiful?!

I have a friend who found a blanket box full of quilts that had been sealed away around 1890 when an addition was put onto the old log farmhouse. That red and green flower on the white with the simple striped border reminds me of 2 of the quilts she found.

Love the Old Quilts you shared. The Poison Green one has held it's color well. Some of them turned brown with time, right? Cool borders. Thanks for the close-ups. Will you replicate that Star?? I bet you do!

Your sharing of all these lovely quilts is the next best thing to seeing them in person. Thanks for taking the time to bring them to us. The varieties of borders are so interesting to see, but that green + white quilt -- be still my heart !!

Does Claire has a blog? I've seen Randy's pictures now I've looked at yours ... wish I could see Claire's too. I never get tired of looking at quilts especially antique ones. And you take such great pictures. All beautiful. The first one (circle) and the last one are amazing. Thank you soooo much for sharing.

thanks for sharing these with us, a great way to start my day! I never get tired of seeing antique quilts, I see lots of inspiration here :)oh that zig zag border is interesting , the bow border is something i have wanted to try since I saw my first one years ago. The circle block is something I have been wanting to try latelyalong with a dresden plate quilt…thanks again kathie
